What takes so long to make a wind turbine?

Answers

There are a lot of factors that go into wind turbine design and construction. Aerodynamics are not necessarily straightforward because of changing wind patterns. Also, separate part (blades, generator, gearbox) are sometimes made by different companies, which results in more time to make sure everything functions together as they should.

There are multiple parts that need to be produced, assembled, and transported to make a wind turbine. Just some of the parts that make up a wind turbine include the; gear box, blades, rotor, generator, nacelle, tailvane, low-speed shaft, yaw motor, yaw drive, brake, and support tower. Another reason wind turbines can take some time to set up is that there are zoning laws and other restrictions that may slow down the installation process.
